Owned by the Dom: Part One (The Owners)

  “Why do you all have secured gates and secret passwords?” she asked.

  “Because we’re awesome,” he said.

  She laughed, patting his knee. The driveway was covered with trees and bushes. “Did your parents get the idea from here?”

  “I think they did it at the same time.”

  His arm was wrapped around her giving her comfort.

  “It is cold out, Arthur. You may come in if you wish.”

  James helped her out of the back of the car. He took her hand leading her through the front doors. “They’re expecting us.”

  She followed him inside keeping her coat closed around her.

  There were many doors, and only a few men were lurking in the rooms. “It is very quiet,” she said.

  “Since the news, it has been very quiet. Some of the men have been scarce.”

  Prue nodded her head following him down to the end room. She saw the bar was littered with several more men. A woman was singing at the end of the bar. Her voice filled the room with wonderful music.

  James pulled her in front of him. “Prudence, I’d like you to meet Stephen Knox.”

  He stopped at a table, and she recognised the man James pointed to. “And his woman, Ursula.” The woman stood up and offered her hand.

  “It is nice to see another woman among the group. I was starting to get a little bored. Sorry, Violet, you’re not the most talkative.”

  The other woman smiled at her. “No offense taken.”

  Prue shook their hands, knowing she’d at least get on with Ursula.

  “These are Cadeon, Lucas, Sean, Tate and Kevin. That guy at the end whom you met at Ravage is Dane.”

  Yes, she recognised the man who’d startled her at the bar. That night felt like a lifetime ago.

  “It is lovely to meet you all.” Prue didn’t need to be a genius to know they were all tense.

  “I’m bored,” Ursula said. “Come on, Prue. I’ll show you the rest of the house.”

  Ursula took her hand. Violet followed behind them. Cadeon got up to go with them. Violet shook her head, kissing him before leaving.

  Once they were out of the room, Ursula took a deep breath. “I thought I was going to suffocate in there.” She pulled a lollipop out of her pocket and then popped it into her mouth.

  “You have a sweet tooth?”

  “It helps with the nerves. Stephen has been behaving oddly just lately. I don’t have a clue how to handle him half of the time. I think it has to do with Dane and those two upstairs,” Ursula said, pointing up the stairs.

  Prue remained quiet. Violet shrugged her shoulders. “Cadeon is worried about the baby.” She rubbed her stomach.

  “It is more than that. Stephen doesn’t want me left alone. He’s put extra security everywhere. I don’t go anywhere in the first place.” She shook her head, taking them down to the basement.

  “Where are we?” Prue asked.

  “A training room. Tate was teaching me some moves, but that all ended.” They sat down on the exercise bench. This was the first time Prue had ever been in a training room getting to know other women.

  “Do you love James?” Ursula asked.

  “Yes. I met him some time ago. He was dating my sister.”

  “Ouch. How did your sister take it?”

  Prue smiled. “She’s happy that I’m happy.”

  “I was Stephen’s housecleaner. Violet worked for Cadeon.”

  She smiled at Violet. “I used to work in the same building. I don’t know if you remember me.”

  Violet shook her head. “Sorry, I don’t.”

  They sat in silence.

  “I bet this is the strangest greeting you’ve ever been to.”

  She smiled at the women. It was the strangest night of her life.

  “I think things are going to get a whole lot worse.”

  “Ursula, she doesn’t need to know this. He’s gone.”

  “What is going on? Does this have to do with that news report last year?” Prue asked.

  Violet glared at the other woman.

  “What has James told you?”

  “Only about Possession and Ravage and where it comes into his life.” Prue was beginning to feel there was a whole lot more to the problem. James hadn’t told her everything.

  “This is not our place,” Violet said.

  Prue stared between the two women. They seemed to be having a private conversation. “James wouldn’t want you to tell her what he doesn’t feel is relevant.”

  Another bout of silence and then Ursula smiled at her. “It is nothing. I’m sure everything is fine.”

  Prue smiled and stared around the room.

  “So, how are you finding James? Is he as possessive as Stephen is?” Ursula asked.

  “I don’t know about Stephen, but I think James is possessive enough.” She chuckled, thinking about the way he had stopped the men from hassling her at the club when she first began going.

  “I know that look. He must be pretty special.”

  “He is,” she agreed.

  “What about you, Violet?”

  “Cadeon is worried about the pregnancy. He doesn’t like the thought of anything hurting me.”

  “How is pregnancy?” Prue asked, thinking about James’s lack of thought with regards to protection.

  “Good. I’ve suffered with morning sickness, but I’ve been able to overcome it. I think I’m through the worst.”

  “Stephen and I are trying for a baby. He wants things to settle down before we are parents.” Ursula closed her mouth and stared past Prue’s shoulder. Dane stood looking at them. “James is looking for you,” he said.

  She nodded her head, getting up from her seat.

  “Stephen and Cadeon want you both as well.”

  “That’s our cue to leave.”

  They followed Dane up the stairs. James was waiting in the bar with the other men. They all stood up to greet them the moment they entered. It was such an old-fashioned action that Prue paused. James opened his arms, and she went into them willingly.

  “I apologise there is not a lot of entertainment. I’m hoping to have everything back into shape in no time. You should bring her often, James,” Stephen said.

  “I will. I’m afraid we must be off.”

  James shook his friends’ hands. Prue gave them a smile before they were heading out the door once more.

  ****

  The drive back was a tense affair. James knew something had been said among the three women. He stared at her as she looked out of the window. Arthur drove them back to his house, leaving them at the gate as he requested. Prudence didn’t speak as they walked up the long drive to his house.

  “Do you think we can get a car that we drive to and from the gate? These walks are going to ruin my shoes.”

  He pulled her close, kissing her head. “I’ll buy you more shoes.”

  The cold air surrounded them. James looked up to the moon wondering why he had a really bad feeling in his gut. He tightened his hold on Prudence all the way to the front door. When they were inside, he followed her up to their room.

  He’d come to view his bedroom as their room. He liked her sleeping by his side. They changed out of their clothes, and Prudence put on one of his shirts. It fell down to her knees.

  She was brushing her hair, and he walked up behind her taking the brush.

  “Tell me what is going on in that pretty mind of yours.” He glided the brush through her hair.

  “Ursula and Violet are worried about something.”

  He paused.

  “You’re worried about it, too.”

  James stared at her through the reflection of the mirror.

  “Please, tell me. I don’t want to be kept in the dark.”

  He sighed, brushing out the strands of hair. “There is something going on. I don’t know if it is over or just beginning, Prudence.”

  She turned to him. “I don’t care. Tell me.”

  James took her hands leading her ov
er to the bed. “I don’t know where to start.”

  “Start from the beginning. This has nothing to do with Possession or Ravage, does it?”

  “No, not at all. At least I don’t think it does.”

  “Tell me.”

  He took a deep breath keeping her hands in his. “It all started with Violet. She’s from England and came here trying to get away from a man. Her mother had been one of Dominic Green’s prostitutes, and Violet had no choice but to run from him.”

  Prudence gasped. “I recognise that name. He’s dead, right? In some kind of a shootout?”

  “Yeah, well over a year ago now. Violet was free when he died. He saw his woman’s children as an income. He’d have put Violet to work, and she’d have been killed or something worse.” Her hand pulled out of his covering her mouth. “I know this is awful, so if you want me to stop then tell me.” He caught her shoulders in his arms and pulled her close.

  “It is just awful to think of that kind woman at a monster’s mercy.”

  He nodded his head. “Then, after some time, Stephen and I kept getting warnings about our club and our women. He was only just starting to date Ursula. The threats continued, and before we knew what was happening, Eugene Black had hired Ursula’s ex-boyfriend to arrange Rebecca’s beating. She was his step-mother. Rebecca and Lucas’s sister, Isabella, ended up in the hospital. Isabella was one of Green’s girls, we think. She’s not been very talkative to anyone since she came out of the hospital. We believe that Dominic Green was working for someone else, and we think that it was not just prostitution but human trafficking. They were taking women off the street and selling them like they were meat.”

  James was silent as he stared past her shoulder.

  “You don’t think this is over?”

  He shook his head. “I don’t know what to believe. I’ve had this feeling for some time.”

  “What kind of feeling?”

  “That something bad is going to happen. There is something we’ve overlooked.”

  “What does Dane have to do with it?” she asked.

  Closing his eyes, he thought of the big guy around Prudence. She was so sweet. He couldn’t handle the thought of another man touching her.

  “He worked for Dominic Green. A year ago he made a deal to help the FBI with their investigation, but as a requirement they released him into Lucas and Sean’s custody or to stay at Possession.”

  “He’s dangerous?”

  “Yes, he’s killed people. I don’t want him around you.” James took her hands kissing her knuckles. “I don’t know what I’d do if anything happened to you.”

  She smiled at him. “You’d do everything in your power to find me. I know you, Sir. You wouldn’t let anyone take what is yours.”

  James pulled her close resting her head against his chest. The thought of losing her was top in his mind. He wouldn’t let it happen. She meant everything to him.

  “The good news of today is Veronica gave us her blessing. She didn’t seem bothered with me being with you. I was worried in case you and she still had something going.”

  James held her, closing his eyes.

  “I never slept with your sister,” James said, staring at the opposite wall. Prudence tried to lift her head. “No, I want to hold you.”

  “But? What? I don’t understand. You were both dating, and that is what usually happens between couples who are dating.”

  “I’ve never taken your sister to my bed or trained her as my sub. I thought she was the one, but I now know differently. You’re the one, Prudence. Always have been and always will be.”

  He stroked her hair loving the way the strands glided through his fingers. “I thought you should know.”

  “I’m so pleased you told me. I thought you’d been together, and it didn’t bother me. Knowing you didn’t sleep together is a huge relief.”

  James loosened his hold for her to look at him. He stared down into her blue eyes and was swept by how much he loved her. Rubbing a thumb over her lip, he leaned down and claimed her lips. Her moans filled his mind making him want her more.

  Her eyes were closed as he pulled away. “Do you want to take me into your playroom?” she asked.

  “No. I want to keep you in my bed and make love to you for the rest of the night.”

  Chapter Nineteen

  Prue opened her eyes and saw the intense way he was looking at her. His eyes were almost black, and the intent in his eyes was crystal clear to her. One of his hands slid down her body going past her breast to the edge of the night shirt she wore. She was wearing one of James’s old shirts. The scent of him surrounded her, which comforted her in the middle of the night.

  “What are you doing?” she asked. He lifted the shirt she wore up and over her head.

  “I’m going to get you naked, and then I’m going to make love to every square inch of this body.”

  She climbed onto the bed waiting for him to join her. Her gaze roamed over him as he removed his clothing. His body was hard and muscled with not an ounce of fat on him.

  “You better be ready for me,” he said.

  “I’m always ready for you, Sir. Always.”

  He knelt on the end of the bed and began crawling up the bed putting an arm on either side of her body as he made his way to her. She lay back feeling one of his hands caressing the side of her body down to her thigh.

  “You’re incredibly beautiful,” he said.

  His compliments made her smile. There was no mistaking his loving gaze as he swept the length of her body.

  “I want you so much.”

  Prue wrapped her arms around his neck, reeling him in. “Then take it.”

  James slammed his lips down on her as he roughly pulled her legs apart. She cried out when he plunged two fingers inside her pussy. Prue felt him opening his fingers inside her, preparing her pussy to take his large shaft.

  She cried out as a third finger was added.

  “You’re so tight and hot. You want my cock don’t you, Prue?”

  “Yes, I want you to fuck me. To claim me and make me yours.”

  James growled, and the sound vibrated through her body. “I can’t wait. I need you now.”

  His fingers were gone, and then the head of his cock pressed to her entrance. “I want you to look at me. I need to see your eyes when I come inside you.”

  Prue stared into his dark depths. Her heart pounded inside her chest. The love she felt for him consumed her with its ferocity.

  “I love you, James,” she said.

  “You’re my everything, Prudence. I’m so in love with you that I can’t even think straight.” He thrust inside her up to the hilt.

  She clawed at his back, the passion she felt overtaking everything she knew. “I love you,” she said, screaming his name.

  Her heart felt like it was going to burst from her chest. He loved her.

  She pushed up to meet him taking everything he had to offer and more. James sank his fingers into the strands of her hair, ravishing her lips as he fucked her pussy. His other hand cupped her thigh in his palm and lifted her leg over his waist.

  “So fucking tight,” he said, thrusting into her in between each word.

  “Harder.” She scored his back with her nails. James turned suddenly bringing her over him.

  “Your turn to ride me.” He cupped her tits in his palm, thumbing her nipples. Prue stared down at him, lifting her body off his cock and then slamming back down. They both cried out.

  “I want to watch you take my cock.” His gaze lingered between her thighs. She made sure to lift her body up off him without hindering his view. “You’re so wet.” She eased down his length, taking her time and letting him see every inch of him disappearing inside her.

  He slapped her ass making her yelp. The burn of his punishment made her thrust down on him with such force that it made her breasts bounce.

  James slapped her ass again and again until she was riding him in a hard and fast pace. Sweat covered both of thei
r bodies. The heat was building between them. She watched him lick his two fingers and then begin to tease her clit. The position she was in left her wide open for his touch. She whimpered feeling her body crashing through her orgasm from the few strokes of his fingers.

  “I’ve got you, baby. Come for me. Let me feel you tighten that sweet cunt around my dick.”

  Prue climaxed. Her release shook her to the very core.

  He turned her onto her back with him underneath her. Her climax slowly ebbed away. James pushed the strands of hair off her brow and kissed her lips. The tenderness brought tears to her eyes. “I love you.”

  “I love you, too. So much.”

  James leaned down, capturing her lips again and again. Prue finally felt like she’d gone home. Her life was with James. Her whole world was centred around him.

  “You’re so beautiful.”

  She smiled. No words could describe her feelings for him. They were wrapped around each other. His shaft pulsed deep inside her. They were connected in the most primal way she knew. Her heart pounded inside her chest looking at him.

  James eased out of her pussy slowly, then pushed back inside. She felt all of him thrusting past the muscles of her pussy. He was thick and taking his time with her. Prue closed her eyes loving the feel of him surround her.

  “No one else,” he said, taking her hands in his and pressing them down onto the bed.

  She opened her legs wider as he took her to heaven with his body. James used all of his strength to make her feel so much pleasure. She never knew how amazing it could feel between them. The love bursting between them sent James and Prue over the edge. Her climax startled her in its intensity. She felt his cock clench inside her then the spurt of his seed.

  No fear swamped her. She knew there was a bigger chance of her getting pregnant, but she felt complete and total contentment.

  He collapsed on top of her.

  “I own you now,” he said on a whisper against her ear. His words made her feel loved. Out of all the women who’d thrown themselves at James, he’d chosen her. She smiled, running her hands over his back. Nothing could kill her feelings for him. If James was around, nothing would ever happen to her.
